Ricky Skaggs
Jun 20, 2011
Country and Bluegrass icon Ricky Skaggs announced the July 19th release of his upcoming project , "Country Hits Bluegrass Style," to be delivered on Skaggs Family Records. The 14-song release is a mix between Skaggs' Country and Bluegrass roots, something he has been sharing with fans around the country on his current "Treasure Chest Tour."
"We did such good music in the 1980s and early '90s that a lot of fans still shout out 'Honey (Open That Door),' and I felt like we needed to do those songs for them, too," said Skaggs. "For years now I've had fans come up and ask me to do a CD that would have my old country hits on it. So here it is, done a little different than the original recordings. These were done in more of a bluegrass style. Folks have loved it when we play them on the road. Sure hope you love them too."
The album includes Ricky Skaggs favorites such as "Crying My Heart Out Over You" and "I Don't Care," and "Highway 40 Blues."
